You can use a trunk mount bike rack on your 2012 Ford Focus sedan. The Thule Archway 3, # TH9010, that you have referenced is listed as a fit. I have also included a link to all of the trunk mount bike racks that will fit your car.
For a 3 bike rack, I recommend the Raceway 3, # TH9002. This rack is very light (under 13 pounds) comes with anti-sway cradles, and it can be locked to the vehicle. But probably the best feature would be the retractable cables it uses to attach to the vehicle. Other racks use straps that are secure but time-consuming to install. The cables on the Raceway make installation or removal faster and easier than any other rack I have seen. I have included a link to a video review of this rack for you.
If you will be carrying womens, childrens, or alternative frame bikes, I recommend using the Bike Adapter Bar, # TH982XT, in order to carry the bikes more level. I have included a link to a video that shows how the adapter bar works.
